Did an easy 1 mi warm up on the track.
Joined the Trigators and did a 5 mi campus loop at 7:55/mi pace. This is about 15-20s per mile faster than at the beginning of the semester and I felt much better too. It actually felt kind of easy. The nice weather helps too its at least 15 degrees cooler.
I'm feeling pretty good about the Thanksgiving day 5k. My brother is getting faster and has challenged me in the race although he has never beat me in a race of any kind. He tried in this same race 2 years ago and failed. I psyched him out by running behind him for the first mile and he went out too fast. He is 18 months older than me and we are competitive at everything. My boyfriend is also challenging me in the race although I expect him to beat me. He ran a 19 something in a 5k a year ago, but he's put on 20 lbs since then too...so maybe not. |
